river in North West America, where it grows one 

 hundred feet high. Very handsome and very hardy. 



PINUS MONTEZUM^]. Lambert. 

 (Montezuma's Pine.) 



An irregularly branched tree, forty or fifty feet high, 

 with a rough thick bark, inhabiting the mountains of 

 Mexico. Leaves five or six inches long, glaucous green. 

 Much resembles Pinus Lindleyana, and is the hardiest 

 of the Mexican Pines. 



PINUS MUGHO. BauUn. 

 (Mugho Pine.) 



SYN. Pinus uncinata. Ramond. 

 Pinus montana. Baumann. 

 Pinus rotundata. Link. 



This species resembles Pinus pumilio in general 

 appearance, but differs from it by forming in favourable 

 situations a tree-like stem, which pumilio never does, 

 yet, like the latter, becoming in cold and elevated 

 situations a low stunted tree or bush. Sometimes it 

 may be found, in very congenial localities, as high as 

 forty feet, with numerous horizontal branches, and a 

 dense foliage resembling Pinus sylvestris. For planting 

 on barren hill-sides it ranks next in point of usefulness 

 to Pinus pumilio. 



P. M. var. hunailis. Link. 

 (Dwarf Mountain Pine.) 



Not so tall as the species ; very useful for planting 

 in exposed situations.
